Tip Ton

Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2011

Tip Ton, the tiltable all-plastic chair by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, is excellent for the back muscles: the forward-tilt position straightens the pelvis and spine, improving posture and circulation. The chair is available in a selection of colours. It can also be stacked and is 100 % recyclable.

Stacking: Tip Ton can be stacked up to 4 chairs high on the floor, up to 11 on a stacking trolley. A stacking trolley is separately available.

Outdoor use: Tip Ton is suitable for outdoor use.

Note: special additives retard the fading of colours due to UV radiation. However, if the chair is exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods, the colour may change over time. We recommend limited exposure to sunlight.

The forward-tilt position, until now the preserve of mechanical office chairs, straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles.
